The primary target, William Rick Singer, was indicted on multiple counts of money laundering, racketeering, fraud and obstruction of justice, according to court records unsealed Tuesday. Wealthy parents paid Singer to bribe coaches, fake admissions documents, such as athletic achievements, and help their children cheat on their SAT and ACT exams, prosecutors said.
